My B L T

I toasted the bread to a golden brown, slivered the salad dressing thick on both pieces of toast, layed a green leaf of lettuce on both, then sliced my vine ripe from the garden tomato in thick slices put the bacon in place put the top toast on and when I bite in to my B L T the juice form the tomato and the salad dressing mingled and the tangy taste took be back to the 1940 at my grandmothers kitchen on the farm in the good old summer time.

The okra is not very tall yet but it is trying.

A story of danger and discovery

I have been reading Bennie's book by Louis L'amour (Jubal Sackett). It makes me want to sleep out under the stars to nite with the Skunk, opossum and raccoon.

Tangy Bread And Butter Pickles

The cucumbers all come at once. It came a good rain yesterday and gave gardener Bennie time to can his pickles.

Twenty Wishes

I just read a book, Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber. So did our blogger friend Clara and she

has been listing her wishes. I will have to think about this.

Fruit of the garden or is that vegetable

The first Eggplant and one lone Cucumber and lots and lots of Squash and lovely Zucchini.

Squiggle

I saw a new, (to me) quilt call apple core. So here goes. I called it my squiggle quilt to my quilt making village friend Sherry and she said that was a better name for it then apple core. Here is my stash of scraps this will be made out of. Taking donations of scraps

Trip to the city

Well this is not the city we went to,but if we had a boat maybe we wouldn't have to car pool, to go to Sam's.

Movie nite With Frank and Cloody

One of the Blogger's has a song call "She" by Elvis Costello . I ask Frank if he knew it and low and behold!!!! He did, He told me a story about Costello. Frank got the Movie (Notting Hill )with Julia
Roberts and Hugh Grant. I can tell you no moss grows under my friend Franks feet.

Beets

Bennie has been canning lovely red beets from the garden.

This is going to be a hard one

It has been just a few hours and I have been at it. (Gripe, Gripe) I can't get a signal on my cell phone. Could it be where I live? In the Village.

Summertime in the Village

A rule against griping is perfectly understandable. The cancer of a complaining spirit can undermine the spiritual and emotional health of an individual and can infect an entire group. This can result in discontent, frustration, and even rebellion.

Today is the first day of summer 2008

Joan in France

One of our village people went on a two week fun trip. I got a lovely bar of soap from Fragonard
it is from a parfumeur.

Up date on The Bennie's garden.

The village garden plots are feeding the people abound amounts of Squash, Zucchini, Onions.

The cantaloupes are the size of tennis balls and the cucumbers are about two inchs long.

The first ripe tomatoe race is on. The birds are waiting too.

More on the " Village people "

We had a birthday dinner at Frank and Cloody's Last night for Sherry. What fun every one should live in a village.
